EXTRA PROGRAMS OF MUSIC The Day Will be Genernlly Observed In Norfolk and Flowers and Spring Fashions are Likely to be Noticea ble at the Churches. Tomorrow Is lOaster day , one of the most Important days of the year In the church calendar , and the day will bo observed with special services In the churches of Norfolk. Kor the past week the various pastors have been busy on their special discourses and the choirs and orchestras have boon preparing their special programs of music which will present to the sever al audiences the host musical talent that Norfolk affords. Today the churches are receiving their Uastor decorations nnd will bo abloom with flowers tomorrow , prom inent , among which will bo the favor ite ICastcr Illy. If the weather Is at all favorable It Is probable that , as IB usual on faster Sunday , the churches will bo all well well tilled with worshippers , as many people make It a point to attend Kas- tor Sunday though they may bo neg ligent on every other Sunday of the year. At the homos the children will ex pect the usual visit from the rabbit that. Is said to bring the eggs and candies deposited in the nests or box es prepared for the accommodation of the alleged visitor. Fashion has long decreed that Kas- tor Is the proper occasion for the wear ing of the now spring gowns , wraps and bonnets , but the weather frequent ly Interferes with this arrangement lu this section of the west , nevertheless , if elements are at all kind it may ho expected that the ladles of Norfolk will fall In with the custom. From the activity In the millinery stores and the dressmaking parlors that has prevailed for weeks , It Is known that many have prepared to appear In now gowns and bonnets , but women are not likely to insist on the display If the weather seems to disapprove. The government weather forecaster promises showers , though he may no ( Insist on delivering the consignment at church time tomorrow. YESTERDAY WAS A MEMORABLE SUNDAY IN NORFOLK.

Durlnnd. j j Trinity. i I The Raster services at Trinity I church were especially Joyous. The church was beautifully decorated with I ' a largo profusion of lilies and plants. 1 The services commenced with an ear i ly celebration at 7 o'clock , choral cel i ebration al 8 o'clock and morning j prayer and celebration at 10:30. : The j early services wore well attended as j was also the mid-day service. The thanks of the congregation are particularly due to the ladles who j spent so much time In decorating the chancel , to the choir and musicians and to Miss May Druland. Mr ) Charles Gerecke , Master Graham Humphrey and Master Harry DIgnan , all of whom rendered their solos with artistic ef fect. The Raster offering of the con gregation was a generous one. The evening service was rendered largely by the Sunday school chll- i dron and the carols rendered by the little ones were much appreciated by , the congregation and formed an at- i tractive part of the service , both for j | the parents and the children. I The rector gave a report of the i standing of the Sunday school sorae- j I what as follows : The number of j scholars enrolled Is 65 : the average attendance 4K : the total money passIng - Ing through the hands of the treasur er for the year , $123.00. The Easter offering given by the children amount ed to over $00 , very nearly equalling that of the congregation at the mornIng - Ing service. The Sunday school and the choir are both self-supporting , the former being a subscriber to the sup port of the church , which Is very un usual. The rector heartily thanks the little ones for their loyal support SO YEARS' EXPERIENCE TRADC MARKS DESIGNS COPVRICHTS A.C.
